directx 8

I'm using the andy pike tutorials of Directx 8 and i'm using Dev C++. The problem is i can't get the first tutorial to compile. In Dev C++ i create a windows application but when i try and compile the below it says that the header file d3d8.h doesn't exist.

Have you tried setting "Additional Include Paths" to point to where the DirectX 8 SDK is installed? You normally have to set paths for both the Includes and Library files. I'm not sure how to do this exactly with Dev-Cpp but either read the documentation or just poke around.
